s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) Cumulative dividend is not reported in Balance sheet.

The dividends in arrears on December 31, 2014 is $240,000

(b) Preferred Stock (Dr.) $400,000

    Common Stock (Cr.) $280,000

     Paid in capital Excess of par (Cr.) $120,000.

(c) Cash (Dr.) $1,070,000

    Preferred Stock (Cr.) $1,000,000

    Paid in capital (Cr.) $70,000

Explanation:

a. Cumulative dividends on Preferred stocks are not declared and therefore they are not reported in Balance sheet of a company.

To calculate the dividends in arrears on December 31, 2014,

10,000 shares * $100 par value * 8% preferred stock. * 3 years arrears.

= $240,000.

b. Preferred stock conversion into common stock is recorded as common stock account in balance sheet.

Preferred stock conversion amount is 4,000 shares * $100 par value = $400,000. This is presented as debit entry.

The credit entry will be common stock account with $ 280,000 (4,000 * 7 shares conversion * $10 par value).

The difference in both entries will be recorded as paid in capital as credit.

c. When preferred stock is issued cash is increased so debit account will be cash (10,000 shares * $107 per share) and credit entry will be Preferred Stock account in balance sheet at par value (10,000 shares * $100 par value). The remaining is credited in paid in capital of preferred stock account  [10,000 shares * $7 ($107 - $100) per share].

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation: The marketing mix consists of a number of factors that a producer usually exploits in order to influence consumers to purchase his/her products and services.

The marketing mix consists of:

- Product

- Price

- Place

- Promotion.

The above are usually called the 4Ps of marketing.

Of the four factors of the marketing mix, the factor that will the easiest for Lee to change will be the price.

This is because, often times, the price of a product or service will be the major determinant in the success of said commodity, and this is due to the fact that customers will compare the product being offered with its price in order to judge whether the product is worthy of the value placed on it.

Therefore, in order for Lee to influence the potential customers to make purchases, the price of the software program will be the easiest to be reviewed, and it should be set to a level where potential customers will be influenced to exchange their money for the software program.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Standard hours per week = 40 hours

Standard rate per hour = $32

Actual rate per hour = $40

Labour rate variance = 40 - 32 = $8 (unfavourable)

Actual cost per week = 40 × 40 = $1600

Standard cost per week = 40 × 32 = $1280

Labour cost variance = actual cost per week - standard cost per week

= 1600 - 1280

= $320 (unfavourable)

Actual codes written in first week = 5650

Standard codes per week = 5 × 25 × 40 = 5000

Actual cost per code = 1600/5660 = $0.2832

Standard cost per code = 1280/5000 = 0.256

Labour efficiency variance = 0.2832 - 0.256 = $0.0272 (unfavourable)

If the team generated 4,650 lines of code according to the original plan:

Code generated = 4650

Number of programmers = 5

Average codes per hour per programmer = 25

Total codes per hour = 25 × 5 = 125

Standard codes per week = 40 × 125 = 5000

Actual time to write 4650 codes = 4650/125 = 37.2 hours

Standard time = 40 hours

Idle time = 40 - 37.2 = 2.8 hours

Labour time variance = 2.8 hours

Cost of idle time = 2.8 × 32 = $89.6 (unfavourable)
